----------------------------Prerequisites----------------------------Intel(R) HAXM requires the Android SDK to be installed (version 17 or higher).For best performance, using SDK version 20 or higher is recommended.

Important: Intel HAXM cannot be used on systems without an Intel processor, or an Intel processor lacking the hardware features, described in the "Hardware Requirements" section above.To determine the capabilities of your Intel processor, please visit http://ark.intel.com/

Known issue:The Android Emulator may freeze when HAXM and VirtualBox v4.2.14 and newer are run in parallel on the same machine. Our testing shows that previous versions of VirtualBox, v4.2.12 and earlier, don’t exhibit the issue.
